The payroll representative dropped an envelope by my desk today. I knew it wasn't a pink slip by the envelope. It may as well have been: it was a five-figure tax levy against my wages for taxes and penalties I didn't even know were owed. My husband had hidden the trouble from me. I knew we were in hawk for 2007, but he had assured me any other years had been taken care of and I believed him. I never saw any communications from the tax authorities. He beat me to the mail and removed them. I feel so betrayed. I feel so stupid. I ignored my misgivings about marrying him four years ago. Now, here I am. I found a divorce-tax-bankruptcy specialist attorney. All I can do is cry. It's beyond anything else. From a divorcee in 1998 with 15 boxes, a couple sticks of furniture and not enough money after rent to eat much I busted my chops to create a nice life and now, here I am. Just shoot me now.

Thanks, Mongol. That's all I can do. I've never been one to crumple up completely. While I cry, I get on with it. One thing is certain, my life has never been boring. My sister and I were wondering what it'd be like to be those people whose biggest concerns are the church potluck and the kids' sports. Is that an injustice to people? Maybe no one really lives that simply? I dunno. From this chaotic, cursed maybe, side, it looks like it. Anyway, I've lawyered up. The bright side will bear forth: end of lies, end of disrespect for my wish for a tidy home, end of trumped up fights with my coping-challenged 23 year old son (one must care for family, dammit). I'm going to miss my little ranch getaway in central Colorado. Not likely it will come through the financial fire. With luck, Cowboy Mike will annex it to his acres. I'd at least know it was in good stewardship. For all things there is a season? -

Hold on, Kath - you said it right here "While I cry, I get on with it" Nothing wrong with shedding some tears. Sounds like a really rough situation, but it also sounds like the past has taught you to appreciate your strength.All the best - Wishy -
